Wasn't sure if I needed to post this in RED's re-doo, but sence there are no pictures of RED, I'll post here. Did the weed edging Friday after work (1.5 hours) then Saturday at 8:30, ran around everything with the hinz-57 push mower (1 hour). Quick break, then fired RED up (3.5 hours) later finished. All ran fine. Dogs love it!

Enjoy.

Fred's Rattle can. I start with a good cleaning of the parts to paint using Simple green. A wire wheel for the heavy rust like what can be found on decks and rims. A mouse vibrator sander for the body parts. A nother rince with water, then a final sanding with fine wet/dry sand paper and another rince. Let the parts dry well and watch the weather. The best time to rattle can is when the temp is 75 - 85, actually the hotter the better, and most importantly the humidity needs to be low, 30-40 range. Common problems are running, and bubbleing. A lot of thin coats prevent the first problem, correct weather solves the second. Oh, and I don't primer, mainly to keep the paint cost down.

Only if the paint ran or blistered.
